It’s a hot air balloon.

Yup.

Hot air balloon.

Personally, I don’t really think that Darth Vader is full of hot air (I know it’s a bad joke, but I just couldn’t resist), but I think this is really cool concept. Created by Star Wars enthusiast Benoit Lambert under the approval of Lucasfilm and manufactured by Cameron, the balloon has a height of 26 metres, with enough room for a pilot and 2 passengers.

The only thing missing would probably be a loudspeaker, with that I-just-smoked-50-packs-of-cigarettes-today voice, reciting the phrase “I am your father…”
